The New York Mudboy is going to have to make some open wall space. Rising rapper Sheck Wes has gone platinum for the first time thanks to Take A Day Trip x 16yrold-produced smash hit, “Mo Bamba”. While the song has been out for a little over a year, it’s recently picked up massive amounts of steam with Sheck’s album release and Bamba’s turning pro.

The song’s dystopian sound that resonates with so many, has helped catapult Sheck to superstar status in a matter of months. With no signs of slowing down, it likely won’t be long before Sheck’s signature single is double platinum.
